Show Reel Production

Coaching, Research, Design and Production

Ward Acting Studio show reels are custom designed for each actor and filmed in a variety of styles and locations.

Actors have easier access to casting directors than ever before. Make the most of it! It's easy to demonstrate what you're capable of if you have a show reel to email to talent agents and directors or a link to include on your business card, resume or in your online listing. Ideally you'll have an acting reel full of professional credits. Until that time, having a reel of representative work is an effective way to put your work in front of industry professionals.

Show reel services include full coaching and shoot preparation, as well as helping you source, write, and select material that's most suitable for you. Our in-house DP will get involved before the shoot and handle all the filming and post-production editing. Actors from outside the Studio pay $950 for Wendy's time and around $500-700 for the filming and post-production work. (Students enrolled at the Studio pay a discounted fee of $750 for Wendy's time.)

New! 2019 Summer Show Reel Intensive

Wendy's adding a new opportunity for her summer students. Beginning next year, actors can elect to train intensely in acting, monologue and scene technique and then apply that work to filming their own custom-designed show reel. You'll get the same transformative acting training provided in the traditional intensive but take home an impressive sample of your work as well. Read more about the Show Reel Intensive here.
